The European Space Agency (ESA), on Thursday, shared a video captured by the Hubble telescope. This video features the Tarantula Nebula, a region of the Large Magellanic Cloud which is one of Milky Way's satellite galaxies.

What you're seeing in the video is the Tarantula Nebula which is one of the most impressive star-forming regions in space.

ESA describes this nebula as the "most productive star-forming region in the local Universe and it contains the most massive known stars." Some of these stars are as massive as 200 times that of the Sun.

The Large Magellanic Cloud is located about 1,60,000 light-years away and is between 10-20 percent as massive as the Milky Way. The views captured by Hubble features blue gas, brownish-orange dust patches and a sprinkling of multicoloured stars scattered across the nebula.

ESA explained that the stars within and behind the dust clouds appear redder than those that are not obscured by the dust. Dust absorbs and scatters blue light more than red light, making the stars appear redder than they are.

"Using Hubble observations of dusty nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud and other galaxies, researchers will study these distant dust grains, helping to understand the role that cosmic dust plays in the formation of new stars and planets," the agency said in a statement.
